Pros: "Smart showed some interior pass-rush skills as a senior, totaling 5.5 sacks with 67 tackles, 18.5 tackles for a loss and one forced fumble," Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com wrote. "He had a quality junior year with 62 tackles and two sacks. The steady production and performance landed Smart an invitation to the Senior Bowl."

Smart also got to work with new Browns defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

Added USA Today's Luke Easterling, "Smart's production and durability are the first things that jump off the page. A full-time starter since the beginning of his sophomore campaign, Smart has made 24 consecutive starts in the middle for the Green Wave."

Cons: What could hurt Smart is where he played. Tulane finished 4-8, coming out of the American Athletic Conference. Defensive tackle remains a position filled with players from Power Five conferences.
